What should I use to clean my hardwood floors?

When it comes to cleaning hardwood floors, it's important to use a product that won't damage or scratch the wood. Here are some tips for cleaning hardwood floors:

Start by sweeping or vacuuming your floors to remove any dirt or debris.

Use a damp mop or microfiber cloth to clean the floors. Avoid using a soaking wet mop, as excess moisture can damage the wood.

Use a hardwood floor cleaner that is specifically designed for use on wood floors. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the wood or leave a dull finish.

If you prefer a DIY cleaner, you can mix equal parts white vinegar and water in a spray bottle. Spray the solution onto the floor and use a damp mop or microfiber cloth to clean the floors.

Wipe up spills and stains immediately to prevent damage to the wood.

Consider using furniture pads under the legs of your furniture to prevent scratches or dents in the wood.

Remember to always follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and caring for your specific type of hardwood flooring. With proper care and maintenance, your hardwood floors can last for decades and maintain their natural beauty.
